VitaView – Stream PSVita games to your Android device

Yes, at first glance, it’s a tad nonsensical BUT there are some decent uses for it. A very good use for VitaView would be to play Vita games on your TV or a 10″ tablet. Developer ‘Sonryp’, who has developed VitaMote (an Android receiver for VitaPad broadcasts) is the developer of this, somewhat odd, homebrew.

What exactly is this?

VitaView allows you to stream your Vita’s games to your Android device via WiFi. This app uses RinCheat, a plugin which lets you stream to a PC, to actually broadcast the games. Not all games work but it’s enough to be an interesting thing to play around with. Remember that you need to use the classic ux0:/plugins/game.txt, as used in HENkaku R6 or before, to install RinCheat.

How do I use it?

Pretty easy:

Install RinCheat on your Vita (needs to be on 3.60 ofc)

Install the VitaView apk on your Android device

Put your Vita’s IP in the app on your Android device and play away!

It’s important to note that you’re bound by RinCheat’s compatibility and not all games work properly so do not annoy ‘SonryP’ to add more games!

Remember that this is pre-alpha grade software so it’s NOT bug-free by any means but the developer intends to fix it up and make it more stable. RinCheat was developed by PSVita veteran ‘Rinnegatamante’ so don’t bug him with bug report on this app as he’s only responsable for RinCheat’s streaming module. As always, be civil and file bug reports on GitHub. Happy streaming!

I'm a girl that's liked technology from day 1. Mostly interested in the PSVita/PSP scene but I've always modded my stuff when it's possible, that is :)Contact me via DM at @KawaiiAuroraA on Twitter if you have any questions/concerns about my articles or if you have any article requests.

It’s exactly the same as a Vita except the touch function. If you say it sucks, then the Vita sucks too. And other comments show that the quality of this is so bad, that’s why playing directly on a PSTV is better. I never really get used to the Vita’s small screen. When playing text-heavy games like Trails of Cold Steel or Atelier series, it hurts my eye so much.
